Delaurentiis Bluffs
Delaurentiis Bluffs sits at 3,186 feet on the International Selkirk Scenic Loop, with the terrain dropping 1,033 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. The view faces 240 degrees, oriented generally toward sunset, and takes in three peaks to the south: Dolomite Mountain at 14.5 miles (3,813 ft), Divide Peak at 15.5 miles (4,581 ft), and Slumber Peak at 16.2 miles (3,481 ft). The nearest towns are Metaline Falls, 23.2 miles south-southwest; Northport, 30.4 miles southwest; and Ione, 31.9 miles south-southwest. Sunset times vary by season, from 20:59 at the June solstice to 15:54 at the December solstice, which affects how much of the southward peak view is lit in late afternoon. Lyon's Bluff precedes this stop on the loop, and Riverside Canyon Overlook follows it.
